Our Mission

Everyone harnesses the power to make something real and beautiful, whether it's a physical object or a concept. At Made By Us, we believe that collaborating with others is what makes life worth living. Our goal is to bridge the gap and bring artful women to the forefront of the creative industry. With different skillsets and visions, they can turn their big ideas into reality and create things amongst a tribe of creatives.

Our Why

Representation Matters

Art has historically excluded women of color. We're here to challenge that and provide a space that centers their voice and experiences.

Building Connections

Community building is vital for personal and collective growth. Our festival creates space for women of color to connect and network with one another.

Empowerment Through Creativity

Art can be a powerful tool to express oneself and heal. By providing access, tools, and resources, we aim to empower women of color.
